That's in the common user's home directory, right? E.g.
"~fred/.rhosts" assuming the common user is "fred".

That's "+ other-machine-name username", right?

Uh, when you say "restarted xinetd", did you "service xinetd restart"
or simply pass it a SIGHUP? I don't always trust "service xinetd
restart". I'd prefer "service xinetd stop;service xinetd start". I
know it's pedantic, but I've seen xinetd hang using the restart option.

Again, in the common user's .rhosts file, right?

Did you check /var/log/messages or /var/log/secure on the remote system
to see what errors were spit out?
